Watch: Out of this world UFO house up for sale in Dunedin

An iconic house shaped like a classic UFO flying saucer is on the market in Dunedin, with the out of this world listing generating some major interest.

Owner Juanita Clearwater listed her house on TradeMe on Monday, where it has already racked up over 16,000 views.

The circular dwelling is described in the listing as an "Extremely rare Futuro for Sale - House and Land. Permanent home on this site since 1975 following the 1974 Commonwealth Games".

Ms Clearwater bought the house in 2013 off Auckland businessman Grant Major, the Otago Daily Times reports.

She told the Times the house has become an icon in the Warrington area and wants to sell it to someone who will keep it on the original site, having already turned down offers from people in Australia keen to relocate the dwelling.

Futuro Homes are found in different corners of the world and have been labelled as an architectural icon of the 1960s.
